Notes/Description:

A stout-twigged, deciduous tree with narrow, rounded crown of upright branches 50-75' tall and 35-50' wide. Used for lake edges, restorations of wooded swamps and other wooded wetlands. Due to the arrival of Emerald Ash Borer in the Midwest, we do not recommend planting Ash at this time.
